Luciferous (Bringer of Light)
This was a small jam I made in early April. The video is awful (the camera wasn't focused), and the audio gave me a lot of problems with competing levels and background noises from the Volcas and KP3+, but the distorted MicroBrute with the reverse delay part of the KP3+ kept making me go back to this recording and trying different approaches. After a lot of tinkering with compression, limiting and EQ, I finally managed to have a working version of the mix.
So, the video shows most of the instruments at play: the MicroBrute and KP3+ are on the first plane: I'm using the Band-pass filter with high resonance and a relatively high brute factor, and the Mod wheel controlling the filter. This made some lovely and expressive screams. The R3 and JV-1080 (not inpicture) are playing the chords using a kind of string machine patch, plus a choir on the JV-1080. The volca Bass is playing one of the bass lines (the other one was added in post-production), and the FM is just playing an almost inaudible clave in the background. The volca Keys (not in picture) is also playing the chords with the R3 and JV-1080. Drums from the KP3+ presets were added in post-poduction.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it and discovering more about using compressors and limiters for balancing a mix.
